Influenster SweetHeart VoxBox

Hey,

I'm a little late on that, no surprise seeing how much I have blogged in the past three months. I got this box in the beginning of March, I love Influenster, I think it's a great site and who doesn't love to receive free samples. In this box I got a Not Your Mothers Beach Babe texturizing sea salt spray, Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour Cleansing System which comes with a sample of Shine, Shine Go Away! Shine Minimizing Cleanser, Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response deodorant in Serene Citrus, and a Skinnygirl Daily On-the-Go bar in coco-nut with peanut butter.

I really liked the Beach Babe spray, it added nice beachy waves to my hair, it is also pretty affordable, I do prefer to make my own sea salt spray though so I probably won't repurchase this unless I get lazy. It actually does have sea salt in it, which is nice and it doesn't have a ton of ingredients. The name and bottle are quite cute too! I do recommend this to any one who doesn't want to make their own sea salt spray.

The contour cleansing system is really great, I wouldn't say it's as good as a Clarisonic but it is nice and pretty cheap also. It really doesn't exfoliate, but I don't think that's the point. It does massage your cleanser into your skin better then your fingers. I liked the cleanser it came with but I really don't think it was anything special and I wouldn't repurchase it, it definitely didn't do anything to prevent or minimize shin for me. It smelled nice and cleaned my skin but that's about it. I use the cleansing system with my normal face wash and like it just as much, and will definitely continue using it and would repurchase the actual system.

Alright the deodorant, I don't wear deodorant everyday, that may sound gross but I don't sweat much and find that when I wear it, it makes me sweat which is strange and defeats the purpose of deodorant in my opinion, I also don't like wearing it after I shave. This smells amazing, its like candy, I don't like the texture of it though, its not a gel or a stick or even a liquid. It weird and wet, feels kind of strange to be honest. I do like the smell a lot though and feel like it last all day and I can smell it throughout the day. It's a nice deodorant but nothing amazing. I stress out easily but I don't get stress sweat so I can't speak for whether it combats stress sweat.

I'm not going to talk much about the on the go bar, I didn't like it, I love coconut but it was gross, maybe you would like it but I didn't and this isn't anything close to a food blog. It was fairly low calorie though so that was nice.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick

Hey,

These lipsticks are my favorite drugstore lipsticks, I have like 13 of them, not going to lie I intend on collecting them all, or at least all of the Kate Moss ones. These are all the same formula, except for the matte ones, but other then that the normal line and the Kate Moss ones are the same. These lipsticks aren't drying at all, including the matte ones, which is hard to find a non-drying matte lipstick. They don't catch dry skin or fall into the lines on your lips, they go on great. They are supposed to be a long lasting lipstick, but I wouldn't consider them long lasting, they last for around two hours. They have great pigmentation and smell like candy, the matte ones(in the red packaging) smell terrible though, or at least I think they do, but they smell isn't unbearable. They come in a wide selection, although there are more nudes then anything else, but with that being said they have a nude for every skin tone. My personal favorites are the Kate Moss ones in 101(matte), 102(matte), 107(matte), 01, and from the regular Lasting Finish line 006 Pink Blush. I would suggest these to everyone, they have a color for everyone and are affordable, they can be found at most drugstores and range from 4.50$ to 6.00$. They have 37 shades to chose from and are definitely worth a try. My only complaint would be they have a wider selection in the UK and should really just release all the colors they have everywhere because I really would love to be able to get my hands on some of the colors they have over there, but other then that I have no complaint for these lipsticks.

Thanks for reading, please leave any  request below! Sorry if this review isn't the best, its been a while since I wrote one and just need to get into the hang of it again.

Review: Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Defining Marker

Hey,

I hauled this a while ago, you can check that out here if you want to see what other fun Wet n Wild products I got. So let me just start off by saying I love Wet n Wild products, I think they are a great brand, and for the price you can't get better. I really love eyeliners like this, I just think they're easy and sometimes I don't like spending much time on my eyeliner and this gets the job done fast. With all that said this was a great eyeliner, while it lasted. It was pigmented, the marker part was not too hard but yet not so soft either, it did what the website claimed it would, it was just great. The only down fall was after three times of me using this I could tell it was already drying out. Sure you can store it upside down to prolong this from happening but it still dries out faster then I would like, and even though it's only 2.99 I don't want to spend that much on a eyeliner that's going to dry out in three days, even if its cheap, for me to repurchase this every three days for a month that's around 30 dollars, it would be cheaper to get a high end one that is known to last four+ months, or even a different drugstore one.

Over all it a great liner but not worth since it dries out faster, I'd say skip this if you were thinking about getting it, I'm going to get the ELF one of these and do a review/comparison of these later on.

If you would still like to give this a try and see if you have better results you can get these at: Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, and I think Target also carries Wet n Wild. It's 2.99usd and can often be found on sale for less at most drugstores.

Sorry Wet n Wild, but this product was a fail for me, and I would not recommend this to anyone, not even if its for a one time use.
